Rolling bearings are essential mechanical components used in a wide range of industrial applications. Understanding the terminology related to their parts is crucial for engineers, technicians, and anyone involved in bearing selection or maintenance. Here are some key terms and definitions: 1. **Bearing Part** A component that forms part of a rolling bearing. Not all accessories are considered bearing parts. 2. **Bearing Ring** A ring-shaped component of a radial rolling bearing that contains one or more raceways. 3. **Bearing Washer** A ring-shaped component of a thrust rolling bearing with one or several raceways. 4. **Flat Ring (Loose Rib)** A detachable, flat washer used internally or externally as a rib for the outer or inner ring of a radial cylindrical roller bearing. 5. **Separate Collar (Separable)** A separable ring with an "L" shaped cross-section, often used as a rib for the inner ring of a radial cylindrical roller bearing. 6. **Middle Ring / Guide Ring** A separable ring found in multi-row roller bearings, used to separate and guide the rollers between rows. 7. **Stop Ring / Locating Snap Ring** A single-lip ring with a stable cross-section, installed in an annular groove to axially position the bearing within a housing or on a shaft. 8. **Locking Ring / Retaining Snap Ring** A single-lip ring with a stable cross-section, used as a retaining ring to hold the rollers or cage in place within the bearing. 9. **Spacer** A ring-shaped component placed between two bearing rings, washers, or half-rings to maintain proper axial spacing.
